Simcenter – Active Noise Cancellation Technology

Active noise reduction methods play a critical role in reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), thereby enhancing the in-cabin experience, as manufacturers aim to deliver new features while keeping vehicle weight low. The commercial adoption of active noise cancellation (ANC) technology has been accelerated by the availability of powerful processors and sensors at an affordable price, software algorithms, modern sensor positioning techniques, and the industry trend toward rapid integration of these components.

Manufacturers may use active noise cancellation technology to build in-cabin quiet zones with software that enhances the driving experience and their image. Manufacturers also benefit from the use of the all-digital automotive audio bus, which reduces their reliance on passive noise cancellation techniques.

This white paper examines how ANC technology will benefit both traditional and all-electric vehicle manufacturers. It goes through the whole process of installing a reliable active noise cancellation system in a vehicle to reduce unnecessary noise sources and enhance the driver experience, as well as how it can be introduced and implemented.
